Chapter 1432

"I feel that … Fellow Daoist Xiao doesn't need to join the Fu Clan!"

Cai Zhuoxia said without hesitation, "Shopkeeper Fu wants Fellow Daoist to join the Fu Clan because he wants Fellow Daoist to learn the art of making talismans and become a talisman master of the Fu Clan.

Since Fellow Daoist doesn't have the surname Fu, even if you join the Fu Clan, you will only be able to make ordinary talismans. I'm afraid they won't let Fellow Daoist practice making high-grade talismans! "

"Besides, what Fellow Daoist needs now is a cultivation technique. As long as you have the basic cultivation technique, the art of making talismans is just a trivial matter!"

"Even if Fellow Daoist's talisman making skills are superb and you become a guest elder of the Fu Clan in the future, but … in terms of cultivation techniques, they definitely won't teach you the complete set of cultivation techniques. You will still be a high-level talisman master of the Fu Clan."

"Actually, to be honest, Fellow Daoist, I have also considered whether Fellow Daoist should join the Cai Clan, but … Fellow Daoist Xiao's terrifying cultivation speed and … other divine abilities … I feel that if Fellow Daoist Xiao were to join the Cai Clan, your talents would definitely be buried, so I didn't dare to ask!

If Fellow Daoist Xiao wants to join the Fu Clan, it would be better for Fellow Daoist Xiao to join the Cai Clan. At least in terms of cultivation techniques, Fellow Daoist Xiao will not be treated unfairly! "

Hearing Cai Zhuoxia's honest words, Xiao Hua suddenly understood. Cai Zhuoxia had always invited him to join the Cai Clan, and before he left alone, she changed her mind. It seemed that there was a hidden meaning behind her words!

"Of course … If the Fu Clan really has some talismans, and Fellow Daoist Xiao feels that … in terms of cultivation, Fellow Daoist Xiao can't make any progress … It's not impossible for Fellow Daoist Xiao to practice it!" Finally, Cai Zhuoxia gave an ambiguous smile.

"Alright, thank you for your reminder, Fellow Daoist Cai!" Xiao Hua smiled and told Cai Zhuoxia about the auction the day after tomorrow, asking for her opinion!

Contrary to Xiao Hua's expectations, Cai Zhuoxia was very happy and said, "The auction is the most lively. There are often rare items that don't appear in the marketplace. Since there is such a good thing, we naturally have to go!

It doesn't matter if we go a day or a day later! "

"That's good. Fellow Daoist Cai, have a good rest. We'll participate in the auction together the day after tomorrow!" Xiao Hua prepared to leave.

"Don't be in such a hurry, Fellow Daoist Xiao. This auction … has always been controlled by the number of participants. Those who have nothing to do with it don't even know about it, let alone enter. Fellow Daoist, you just went out for a stroll and received an invitation talisman. This … what's going on?

There won't be any traps, right? "

Xiao Hua originally wanted to avoid the important matters and dwell on the trivial matters, but he didn't expect Cai Zhuoxia to delve deeper into it. Thus, after thinking for a moment, he told her the whole story. Of course, he definitely wouldn't tell the truth about the number of medicinal pills, and only made up some nonsense.

"Eh?

This Xue Xue … who was she?

I've never heard of a cultivator family with the surname Xue in the Kingdom of Xi? "

Cai Zhuoxia frowned. "But if he's from a cultivation sect, his age and cultivation level … it doesn't seem right!"

"Who cares about her?"

Xiao Hua said with a smile, "We only received her invitation talisman, and this auction wasn't organized by her alone, so how could it be disadvantageous to us?

Once the auction is over, we will leave Yanyuan City. What is there to be afraid of? "

"Ai, Fellow Daoist Xiao, there are some things … that we can't let our guard down!

Most of the time, even the tiniest details can be life-threatening! "

"Perhaps!"

Xiao Hua shrugged. Thinking about the situation with Xue Xue just now, she also couldn't think of any traps. The most important thing was that Xiao Hua didn't tell her the truth about the invitation talisman!

Leaving aside the fact that Xiao Hua came out of Cai Zhuoxia's room and returned to his own room to cultivate, the disciples of the Imperial Pill Sect saw Xiao Hua return to the inn in a daze. They first asked the inn's staff a few questions, then left a few disciples to guard the inn's entrance, and the rest returned to the Imperial Pill Sect's shop.

After listening to the disciple's report, Shopkeeper Liu muttered in his heart, "He's with a female cultivator who might be a descendant of an aristocratic family?

Could it be that Xiao Hua bought so many medicinal pills … and brought them back to the clan?

This … could also be explained! "

"But … Clear Fragrance Pills and the like are only low-level medicinal pills that can increase one's cultivation level. Which cultivator family would buy so many at once?"

"It couldn't be that some other cultivator family also heard the rumors and wanted to stockpile spirit stones like my Imperial Pill Sect, right?"

"This matter … seems to be only known by the Immortal Union … Right, my Imperial Pill Sect's Sect Master is old friends with someone from the Immortal Union, so he leaked a little bit of information. Moreover, he was also warned not to leak it. Other cultivator families … how could they know?"

Shopkeeper Liu thought for a while, then ordered his disciples to withdraw, leaving only one to watch Xiao Hua's trail.

Two days passed by very quickly. Xiao Hua had enough Clear Fragrance Pills in his space. During this period of time, he didn't even leave his room, only quietly cultivating. Only when the four walls of his room flashed with brilliance did Xiao Hua open his eyes and open the restriction on the door. Cai Zhuoxia was already standing at the door in high spirits, waiting to follow Xiao Hua to the Treasure Auction Pavilion.

Cai Zhuoxia had been to Yanyuan City before, so she was very clear about the location of the Treasure Auction Pavilion. Xiao Hua followed her for an hour and arrived at a plaza in the center of the city. This plaza was rather large and oval in shape. On the plaza, there were dozens of towering pillars that pierced straight into the blue sky. On the pillars, there were many relief carvings of different shapes. On the carvings, there were faint runes that flickered in and out of existence under the noon sun!

In front of each pillar, there was a tall cultivator dressed in armor. His hands were either holding a spear or a halberd, or a sword. He stood majestically at the side. They should be the city guards of Yanyuan City. Many of the scattered cultivators in the plaza stayed far away from these armored city guards.

The pillars in the plaza were very eye-catching, so Xiao Hua's eyes were completely attracted to them before he could see anything else.

Seeing Xiao Hua like this, Cai Zhuoxia said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, didn't you ask a few days ago about the difference between Xunyan Sect's defensive formation and Jingbo City's defensive formation?

This … is the defensive formation of Yanyuan City, the Yanyuan Limitless Formation. Yanyuan City got its name from this formation! "

"Yanyuan Limitless Formation?"

Xiao Hua muttered to himself. His eyes roamed over the pillars for a moment, then he said in a low voice, "Compared to Jingbo City's defensive formation, which one is stronger?"

"Fellow Daoist Xiao is strange. Why do you always want to ask who is stronger?"

Cai Zhuoxia pursed her lips and smiled, "I don't know who is stronger. I only know that the Yanyuan Limitless Formation is the most suitable formation for Yanyuan City. These pillars can extract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the spirit veins under Yanyuan City. It can be used for both defense and attack."

"It is said that back in the day, several Nascent Soul cultivators joined forces to attack Yanyuan City, but they couldn't succeed. Instead, one of them was injured by this formation!"

"Ah?

Several Nascent Soul cultivators? "

Xiao Hua was shocked. He looked at the pillars again in disbelief, "This … Yanyuan Limitless Formation … is this powerful?"

"The Dao of Formations … is profound and unfathomable. Unfortunately … many of them have already been lost!"

Cai Zhuoxia sighed, "Even the Profound Heaven Sect, which is famous for its formations in Lian Country, is rumored to have withered away!"

"Formations … Formations …" Xiao Hua muttered.

"There ~ That's the Treasure Auction Pavilion!" Cai Zhuoxia said as she pointed to a tall six story pavilion on the west side of the plaza.

Xiao Hua came back to his senses and looked over. The entire Auction Pavilion was overflowing with light and was emitting all kinds of brilliance. It was extremely dazzling under the sunlight!

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, look to the east. That pointy tower shaped pavilion is the Weaponry Workshop. It's where Yanyuan City sells magic tools and treasures. However, it's only open to cultivators above the eleventh level of qi refining, so we can't enter for now.

The round gourd-like pavilion on the north side is the Herb Gathering Hall. It's where you buy spirit herbs and pills. The square pavilion on the south side is called the Jade Talisman House. It sells yellow talismans and spirit talismans. Hehe, it's said that the legendary jade talismans can occasionally appear! "

"I'm sure Fellow Daoist Xiao knows which sect built these three pavilions?"

"Hehe, of course. The Weaponry Workshop is the property of the Qiqiao Sect. The Herb Gathering Hall is the property of the Xunyan School. As for the Jade Talisman House, it's definitely the property of the Splendid Sect!" Xiao Hua glanced over and answered with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist is right. That's exactly the case!"

Cai Zhuoxia looked at the three towering pavilions with envy, "The three great cultivation sects of the Country of Xi are indeed worthy of their reputation!"

"Then what about the Treasure Auction Pavilion?

Which sect does it belong to? "Xiao Hua asked curiously.

"Pfft!" Cai Zhuoxia laughed, "Is there even a need to ask?"

When Xiao Hua heard this, he was extremely regretful and said, "This poor Daoist was wrong. This poor Daoist only looked at the cultivation sects and cultivation families and forgot about Yanyuan City!"

"Hehe, that's right. This Treasure Auction Pavilion is the property of Yanyuan City!"

Cai Zhuoxia smiled sweetly and said, "Let's go, Fellow Daoist Xiao. It's already late. Let's go in earlier!"

Xiao Hua followed Cai Zhuoxia to the front of the Treasure Auction Pavilion. The entrance hall of the Treasure Auction Pavilion was extremely large. A row of armored city guards stood at the entrance, inspecting the invitations of cultivators who wanted to enter the Treasure Auction Pavilion.

The rows of city guards gradually decreased from the middle to the sides according to their cultivation level. The cultivators who wanted to enter also wisely chose to pass in front of the city guards according to their cultivation level.

After entering the Treasure Auction Pavilion, the lighting inside was a bit dim. Even the area in front of them was dark and they couldn't see anything clearly. Xiao Hua looked around and didn't see any city guards coming to greet them. He unconsciously stopped.

"Eh?

Why did Fellow Daoist Xiao stop? "Cai Zhuoxia also stopped and asked curiously.

Xiao Hua pointed to the front and said in a low voice, "Why is it so dark inside?

It doesn't feel normal! "

Cai Zhuoxia turned her head and looked. She pulled Xiao Hua to the side and said in a low voice, "Extremely rare items often appear during the auction. In order to protect the cultivators who are bidding, the auction will set up a restriction before entering the venue. This restriction cannot be passed through by divine sense. The cultivators who are bidding can put on a mask or use … some kind of spell to hide their face or cultivation level. This dark area in front of us is precisely the restriction set up by the Treasure Auction Pavilion!"
